Imran Khan, the founder of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, has agreed to the Supreme Court's recommendation to engage in conditional talks with all political parties, including the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP). As part of this process, the incarcerated former Prime Minister plans to write a letter to the Supreme Court seeking further guidance.

The PTI leadership has been instructed to draft this letter, which will outline the current political and economic challenges facing Pakistan. The letter will also call for a fair trial for PTI leaders and workers who are currently incarcerated or facing legal issues related to the violence on May 9 and other charges. The PTI's legal committee is set to meet to finalize the draft.

Insiders within the PTI have indicated that the party is open to engaging in serious and meaningful dialogue with authorized representatives of other political parties. This move comes after the Supreme Court's advice to Imran Khan, which was given during a discussion on accountability laws. The Supreme Court had encouraged Imran Khan to initiate talks with other politicians to address the pressing issues facing the country.
